Amid intensifying pressure from the US bond market, gold (XAU/USD) has broken below the critical $4,300 technical support level, hitting its lowest point in more than two months. According to reports, this decline was directly driven by a rally in US Treasury yields, which diminished the appeal of the non-yielding metal. This technical breach has reinforced bearish momentum, as prices moved past the support levels that had protected the metal from further deterioration since last March.
This technical breakdown coincides with sustained US Dollar strength, as investors favor the higher returns available in fixed-income instruments. Per market data, the 10-year Treasury yield has seen a significant uptick, placing additional pressure on gold relative to other safe-haven assets. Analysts note that continued robust economic data, such as the recently reported ISM Manufacturing PMI of 54, bolsters the case for interest rates remaining higher for longer.
